LVP That Stands Out: Bold Maximalist Floors Without the Maintenance

If 2025 has taught us anything, it’s this: “Less is more” is officially on vacation.

Enter the era of Bold Maximalism—a fearless celebration of color, pattern, texture, and individuality. This design trend is for those who want their homes to tell a story, make a statement, and reflect everything they love—not just what’s trending on someone else’s mood board.

And here at McGrath Floor & Design, we’re here to tell you:
You don’t have to sacrifice performance to get personality.

That’s why Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) has become the unsung hero of the Maximalist movement—it brings you the drama without the drama.

What is Bold Maximalist Style?

Bold Maximalism is about layering your life into your space:

✔️ Vibrant jewel tones like emerald, sapphire, and burgundy
✔️ Dramatic furniture and vintage finds
✔️ Statement art, wild wallpaper, and mixed metals
✔️ Patterns on patterns on patterns
✔️ Floors that anchor the look with depth, richness, and energy

This is not the “flip house beige” look.
This is your favorite velvet chair, your grandmother’s rug, and a glass of red wine on a Friday night. It’s curated chaos that just works.

Why LVP is a Maximalist’s Best Friend

When you want bold looks that won’t wear down, LVP steps in like the stylish superhero it is:

✅ Scratch-resistant for high-traffic, high-energy homes
✅ Waterproof (go ahead—spill the wine!)
✅ Stain-resistant for art projects, pet accidents, and reality
✅ Easy maintenance—just sweep, mop, and go
✅ Limitless design options—textures, colors, patterns, and widths galore

So yes—you can go bold without fear.

How to Get the Bold Maximalist Look with LVP

Here's how McGrath helps you design a space that's unapologetically you—starting from the floor up:

1. Choose Rich, Saturated Tones

Maximalist floors don’t hide—they shine.

Look for:

• Deep walnut or espresso wood tones

• High-contrast planks with dramatic graining

• Blackened oak or cool charcoal LVP for moody modern vibes

• Rustic reds or reclaimed barnwood patterns for wild charm

Check out Provenza’s waterproof LVP lines, or Happy Feet’s bold-color collections that scream “designer, not default.”

2. Go Big with Patterns and Textures

Want something truly one-of-a-kind?
We’ve got patterned and textured LVP that mimics:

• Parquet or chevron layouts

• Reclaimed mixed-tone boards

• Herringbone vinyl planks (yep—they exist!)

• Antique hand-scraped visuals

LEGENDARY FLOORS and Cortec both offer collections where texture meets personality—without the price tag of custom hardwood.

3. Mix Vintage and Modern Elements

The key to Maximalism is balance through contrast. Your LVP floor should play beautifully with:

• Mid-century shapes + retro accents

• Modern cabinetry in rich navy, emerald, or blush

• Mixed metal lighting (think brass + black or chrome + bronze)

• Colorful textiles layered on bold flooring backdrops

Don’t overthink it. We’ll help you match the floor to your fabulous.

Where These Floors Work Best

Maximalist LVP is made for:

Living rooms where the party starts
Creative spaces where art, music, or wild ideas flow
Dining rooms that lean dramatic
Entryways & hallways that say “Hey, look at me!”
Short-term rentals that need to photograph beautifully (and clean easily)

And yes—it even rocks in kitchens and bathrooms. Because LVP is waterproof, remember?
